The rule book (I'm using 2.0 + 2.1 ammendments) only specifies a 1 element base width between area terrain features, but I get the impression that there are...
... More than that -- you can have a river cross a forest or marsh; you can have a road crossing a forest/hill/whatever. By the rules you could also put a...
Since Waterways are included with linear features, one could conceivably put a BUA (Area feature) on a WW. If one did not use a road as an optional feature...

The rules say a BUA can be attacked by up to 3 enemy element. Thus there must be space for the elements to attack the BUA. Bob beattie@... On Dec 2,...
I've always fancied a crannog (BUA on a WW) for my Celts, not for any rules-lawyering advantage, but becuase it might look good. The best was of doing it it...
Hmm, Mount St. Michal?, (spelling could be off, a castle with bridge up, Tyre, lake village with bridge torn down? Aren't they all legit examples? [Non-text...
I am not sure I agree with the logic here, Must there always be space for overlaps then? If so we should play on a grid because I haven cases where the...
Sorry didn't mean to sound snarky. But I am sure that if Phil was requiring a BUA to place in such a way that three enemy elements could attack it he would...
... I agree that the rule that says 3 elements can attack a BUA should not be interpreted to mean that they MUST be able to. As for whether BUAs can be in WW,...
Also, wasn't Alexander faced with such an island walled city to which he attempted to build a causeway? Terry in Spokane ... up, Tyre, lake village with bridge...
The rules allow a road to run by or through a BUA, so just running a road to your crannog would be technically legal. However, since roads must be less than...
Bob, by this logic, the defender would not be able to put his own elements next to his BUA if these prevented the invader from attacking it with three...

Up to 3 but there must be room for at least 1. A BUA in a waterway cannot be attacked by any elements. I was trying to state that the rules infer that a BUA...
... You're taking that rule out of context, Bob. That section has nothing to do with terrain deployment -- that's the part talking about overlaps and attacks...
This is what Phi is expecting players to do. "The battlefield is usually produced by placing separate terrain features on a flat board or cloth representing...
DBA is not a siege game where the entire armies of both sides are attacking or defending a city. The Tyre example does not seem relevant to DBA. A BUA on a...
... -- Which (not to be facetious), is precisely the point for many of us on why we don't like the BUA ing the game at ALL! I vote it easily the worst thing ...
I agree as to your intent. However, inference can be in the eye of the beholder. Much better to have a clear rule. How about adding the following to your...
Bob, I am in agreement with you here. All BUAs Camps, etc should be placed in such a way that it is possible for at least one element to legally move into ...
No one dislikes the BUA more than me! If I rewrote the rules, I would leave it to the special optional section. To be used only in scenario games. However,...
Did anyone actually read this? ... In peace time, and with good weather, a causeway would take, at the very least weeks, NOW in the 3rd millennia. Pre-steam...
... Andrew Rules aside, this sounds like a terrific looking camp project, post pics if you follow through and build it Bill AKA yettie..."Otis" ... ...
I am doing something similar for my Celts/Early Nothern barbarian types. I'm modelling the waterway as a big marsh with a causeway for my druid grouping to...
Terry, Best thing to do is place the BUA rules in the campaign section where they belong. I never use BUAs myself and find the way they work ridiculous in the...
